WARM UP
A hang-man game
(To revise the vocabulary Ss learned in previous lessons)
- T divides the class into 2 big groups and draws each of them a gallows on the board.
 Group A Group B
- T explains to Ss that they are going to play a “Hangman” game which has to do with the names of Vietnam’s popular TV game/talent shows and contests. The rule is each time T gives a secret word and the groups will take turn to guess it by telling what lettes they think there are in this word. If Ss choose a letter that appears one or more times in the secret word, the letters and their positions will be revealed and Ss can keep on guessing the next letter. On the other hand, if Ss guess a letter that is not in the secret word, then a piece of the man being hanged will be added to the gallows and they will lose their turn to the other group. Ss will get one point for each secret word they can guess correctly and get a minus point for each complete hangman they have got. When the game is over, T will count how many points each group has collected and the group with more points will win the game.
- T leads the game, using the names of such TV shows as The Magic Conical Hat (The Wheel of Fortune), One hundred Arena (One versus One hundred), Vietnam Idol, who wants to be the millionaire, The price is right, etc. (T may want to add more to suit his/her classroom). For each show, T draws the same number of dashes as the number of letters in its name. For example, for the show “Vietnam Idol”, T would need 11 dashes like this:

WRITING
- T gets Ss to read the requirements of TASK 2 and work out with a peer what they need to include in the reply letter and what kind of language(formal ? informal ?) they need to use.
- T checks the answers with the class and gives feedback.

GRAMMAR
a. Presentation
- If necessary, T reviews reported speech with gerund
+ Form: Verb + (O) + Preposition +(NOT) V-ing(*)
+ Meaning and use: We usually use a gerund structure to report thanking, apologies, accusations, and so on. We don’t use “say” in this structure.
E.g: I apologised the teacher for submitting my assignment late. We thank you for having helped us generously. 
Note:
- Some verbs don’t need a preposition, e.g. stop, deny,admit,suggest,and so on.
- T might want to remind Ss that time and place references often have to change in reported speech. 
E.g:
Now
Then

The other person accused you of running the red light and breaking the traffic law, but you denied doing so. But some witnesses approached the police and insisted on seeing you run the red light, so finally you had to admit your fault. The police gave you a ticket and you had to apologise them and the other person for telling a lie.
